Woman killed, husband injured in Friday crash on I-75 in Troy

TROY -- A woman driving a Chevy Tahoe that rolled over multiple times on I-75 on Friday was killed and her husband was injured, police said.

The cause of what appears to be a one-vehicle accident is under investigation. Police are asking anyone who saw the 2005 Tahoe veer off the freeway north of Wattles Road about 4:15 p.m. to call.

The southbound SUV went into a ditch and rolled several times. The 38-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, who was in the passenger seat, was taken to Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak. Police said he appeared to have non-life threatening injuries.

The South Oakland County Crash Investigation Team is looking into the cause of the fatal rollover that closed two lanes of southbound I-75 for three hours. Police said alcohol and drugs don't appear to be a factor and it looks like seatbelts were used.
